WEST PLAINS, MO – Ozarks Healthcare’s Mobile Mammography Unit will continue to travel and offer mammogram services to surrounding communities during the month of November.
Mammogram screenings are a vital tool in the early detection of breast cancer. They can identify abnormalities long before symptoms manifest, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment and survival. Regular mammograms empower individuals to take control of their breast health and are essential in saving lives through early intervention.
Ozarks Healthcare’s state-of-the-art Mobile Mammography Unit is equipped with the latest technology and staffed by expert professionals who are dedicated to patients’ wellbeing. The unit features advanced 3D mammogram screening technology, which delivers more complex and detailed images and creates quicker screening time with less discomfort. This technology is also able to read denser breast tissue, which can be typical in younger women. Changing and waiting areas are also included on the unit.
